«Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente,
y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te toca.»
«Ella me quiso, a veces yo también la quería»
«Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero tal vez la quiero.
Es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido»
y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te toca.»
«Ella me quiso, a veces yo también la quería»
«Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero tal vez la quiero.
Es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido»

“Ya me veo olvidado como estas viejas anclas. Son más tristes los muelles cuando atraca la tarde.
Se fatiga mi vida inutilmente hambrienta.
Amo lo que no tengo. Estás tú tan distante.”

‘Between the lips and the voice something goes dying.
Something with the wings of a bird, something of anguish and oblivion.
The way nets cannot hold water.
My toy doll, only a few drops are left trembling.
Even so, something sings in these fugitive words.
Something sings, something climbs to my ravenous mouth.
Oh to be able to celebrate you with all the words of joy.
Sing, burn, flee, like a belfry at the hands of a madman.’
